3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Battery Installation

3.2 Mounting the Bracket

1. Choose a suitable location on your handlebar or stem for the bracket seat.
2. Place the rubber slice (if provided) between the bracket seat and the handlebar to prevent slipping and protect the surface.
3. Secure the bracket seat using the provided cable ties (belts). Ensure it is firmly attached and does not rotate.
4. Slide the main bracket onto the bracket seat until it clicks into place.

3.3 Installing the Sensor and Magnet

1. Attach the wired speed sensor to the front fork of your bicycle using cable ties. Position it so that the sensor head is aligned with the wheel spokes.
2. Mount the magnet onto a spoke of the front wheel. Ensure the magnet is positioned to pass directly in front of the sensor head with a gap of approximately 1-3 mm. The magnet should not touch the sensor.
3. Route the sensor wire neatly along the fork and up to the handlebar, securing it with cable ties to prevent it from interfering with moving parts.
4. Plug the sensor wire into the port on the back of the computer's mounting bracket.

3.4 Attaching the Computer Unit

Slide the BIKEVEE computer unit onto the mounted bracket until it locks securely. Ensure it is facing you for easy viewing during your ride.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Button Functions

• 'M' (Mode) Button: Press to cycle through different display modes (e.g., ODO, DST, MXS, AVS, TM). In setting mode, it confirms selections.
• 'S' (Set) Button: Press to enter setting mode or adjust values within setting mode. In normal display, it can activate the backlight or reset certain values.

4.2 Initial Settings (Wheel Circumference, Time, Units)

Upon first use or after battery replacement, you may need to set the wheel circumference, time, and measurement units.

1. Wheel Circumference: Refer to your bicycle tire's sidewall for its size (e.g., 700x23C, 26x1.95). Consult a wheel circumference chart (available online) to find the corresponding value in millimeters (mm). Enter this value into the computer. This is crucial for accurate speed and distance readings.
2. Unit Setting: Select between Kilometers per Hour (KM/H) or Miles per Hour (M/H) as your preferred unit of speed and distance.
3. Clock Setting: Set the current time (12H or 24H format).

Typically, you enter setting mode by pressing and holding the 'M' or 'S' button (refer to specific instructions in your included manual if different). Use 'S' to change values and 'M' to confirm and move to the next setting.

4.3 Display Modes and Functions

• SPD (Current Speed): Displays your real-time cycling speed.
• ODO (Odometer): Shows the total accumulated distance. This value is usually stored even when the battery is removed.
• DST (Trip Distance): Displays the distance covered during the current ride. Can be reset for each trip.
• MXS (Maximum Speed): Shows the highest speed achieved during the current ride.
• AVS (Average Speed): Calculates the average speed for the current ride.
• TM (Ride Time): Displays the duration of the current ride.
• SCAN: Automatically cycles through DST, MXS, AVS, and TM displays.
• Backlight: Press the 'S' button (or as per specific model instructions) to activate the green LED backlight for a few seconds.

4.4 Resetting Trip Data

To reset Trip Distance (DST), Maximum Speed (MXS), Average Speed (AVS), and Ride Time (TM) for a new ride, typically press and hold the 'S' button while in the DST or TM display mode until the values reset to zero. The Odometer (ODO) cannot be reset.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the computer unit and sensor with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Replacement: Replace the CR2032 battery when the display becomes dim or erratic. Follow the battery installation steps.
• Storage: If storing the bicycle computer for an extended period, consider removing the battery to prevent leakage. Store in a cool, dry place.
• Sensor/Magnet Alignment: Periodically check the alignment of the sensor and magnet to ensure the 1-3mm gap is maintained for accurate readings.
